Diagram showing he differences between a healthy female bird bone with medullary bone and a pathological bird bone with avian osteoporosis. For each there is a global scan of tibiotarsi whole bone in lateral view, a micro-CT 3D cube reconstruction, and microCT cubes highlighting osteocyte lacunae. In between a box with writing "Differences include: Structural anisotropy, Connectivity density, Trabecular thickness, Osteocyte lacunae orientation".

Former Portioner's cottage, dating from 1690, in Carmunnock in Glasgow. A portioner farmed a portion of land that was allotted to them by the local land owner. The roof would originally have been thatched, and remained so until around 1900

In an analysis of 1.2 million news stories about scholarly research, men-led papers were found to receive more attention overall and were heavily overrepresented in the top 5% of most covered studies. https://scim.ag/4o7l5a5
